Do you see an object? YesIf you, animate? inanimate? a person? a situation? a picture of something? Can be many things, but usually, it's an inanimate object

Can it happen indoors? outdoors? Both, with outdoors being more likelyAt your house? someone else's house? school/uni? work? a shop? a public place? Can be any of these under the right circumstances, but out of these, somebody's house might be least likely. But as I said, it's more likely to happen outdoors than indoors.

I'll broaden this: Is it a cerebral connection, and not a reminder of food or drink?

[Oh, lord. Not to leave anything out: a bit of graffiti on a nearby wall always has my boyfriend singing songs about farts, and that led to our favorite Miami Herald columnist, Carl Hiaasen. (His name is pronounced HIGH-a-sin, but it's often mis-pronounced HIGH - ASSIN', hence the jokes that my bf is utterly unashamed of.)]

And, of course, this private information is to go no further than this board. Fiona said, innocently.

I'll broaden this: Is it a cerebral connection, Not sure what you mean here... and not a reminder of food or drink? Right. Food or drink are irrel to this.

Now I'd like to know what kind of graffiti that would be xD

the thing you see - is it broken? dirty? does it aways have a particular quality or attribute? I'm afraid there has been an FA for a while. There's no particular object involved in fawry. It has more to do with seeing things in general.

Can you experience it in the dark? Dusk? In artificial lighting? In all weathers? With glasses on? Or sunglasses? Can you make it stop? Would it help to look away? Can you experience it in the countryside? City? While driving?

Can you experience it in the dark? Not when it's pitch dark, but in general, yesDusk? YesIn artificial lighting? YesIn all weathers? YesWith glasses on? YesOr sunglasses? YesCan you make it stop? Yes. Explore.Would it help to look away? YesCan you experience it in the countryside? YesCity? YesWhile driving? Less likely but possible

Is technology relevant? Could it happen 100 years ago? 1000? 10000? Can you make it stop by: looking in another direction? Walking away? Closing your eyes? Closing one eye? Reflections relevant? Other optical phenomena? Can a very nearsighted person experience it without glasses? Is writing relevant? Can you experience it in the middle of nowhere? In fog? Snowstorm?

Can you make it stop by: looking in another direction? YesWalking away? That would make the current fawry stop, but a new fawry would occur when looking into the new direction.Closing your eyes? YesClosing one eye? No

Can a very nearsighted person experience it without glasses? Probably notIs writing relevant? NoCan you experience it in the middle of nowhere? YesIn fog? Depends on the density of the fog, but it would cause difficulty.Snowstorm? Probably not

HINT: Remember that fawry is a phenomenon that is experienced while moving forward, usually while walking.

Can it be experienced while moving in any other direction? Seeing something while moving towards it relevant? Perspective relevant? Reading relevant? Not being able to see something because of the distance relevant? Almost but not quite being able to make out something? Some text?

Can it be experienced while moving in any other direction? Under the right circumstances, yesSeeing something while moving towards it relevant? YES!!Perspective relevant? Not reallyReading relevant? NoNot being able to see something because of the distance relevant? NoAlmost but not quite being able to make out something? NoSome text? Thus no

Will you experience fawry until you reach the object? Or will it stop before? Can you experience it with more than one object at a time? If so, can they be at different distances? Would using binoculars help? How about using them backwards, would that help? Or make things worse? Can you experience while riding a bicycle? Are you seeing an event?

Will you experience fawry until you reach the object? NoOr will it stop before? YesCan you experience it with more than one object at a time? YesIf so, can they be at different distances? That's possible, but the distances should be similarWould using binoculars help? Umm... Yes, I think soHow about using them backwards, would that help? Uh, what would be the effect? Making things smaller, right? If so, it would definitely make things worse.Or make things worse? See aboveCan you experience while riding a bicycle? YesAre you seeing an event? Possible, but it would more likely involve objects

Indeed, binoculars in reverse makes stuff smaller. Try it!Is it relevant that the object looks smaller? That you can't make out as many details? Does the fawry end when you're close enough to see the object better? Would bad eyesight (meaning that you need to get closer to see as good) make the fawry last longer? Mistaking an object for something else relevant? Or not recognizing it?

Is it relevant that the object looks smaller? Smaller than what? But yes, objects looking small is relevant.That you can't make out as many details? NoDoes the fawry end when you're close enough to see the object better? Making out details of the object is irrWould bad eyesight (meaning that you need to get closer to see as good) make the fawry last longer? NoMistaking an object for something else relevant? NoOr not recognizing it? No

Since this has been going on for quite a while without one, here's a RECAP. I think you're already close but the multitude of posts might make this confusing.

Fawry is a phenomenon you experience when moving towards an object, usually by walking. While the object itself is not relevant, it is relevant that it seems small during the fawry. It is an annoying phenomenon and it becoms increasingly annoying the longer it lasts. Looking somewhere else while moving helps and the fawry ends before you actually reach the object. It's more likely to happen outdoors than indoors.

Thinking the objects are closer than in reality relevant? Or farther away? Is the relevant object one you will eventually reach? Or could it be far off to the side? Time taken to reach the object relevant? Many hills seem much steeper when viewed at a distance, is this relevant?

Thinking the objects are closer than in reality relevant? NoOr farther away? Yesish. Explore.Is the relevant object one you will eventually reach? Hmm... Usually, yes.Or could it be far off to the side? Normally notTime taken to reach the object relevant? Yesish. Good q!Many hills seem much steeper when viewed at a distance, is this relevant? No

So it's relevant that it'll take more time to get close to the objects than you think. Is seeing a stretch of road and thinking it's shorter than it really is relevant? Energy expended while cycling relevant? Is it more often experienced: somewhere you've never gone before? Somewhere you go often? Somewhere you know by heart? Is knowledge about the route relevant at all?

NoIs it more often experienced: All the below is irrsomewhere you've never gone before? Somewhere you go often? Somewhere you know by heart? Is knowledge about the route relevant at all? No

Being in a hurry relevant? No, but I feel that it becomes worse when I'm in a hurry.Enjoying the scenery relevant? No, not at all.Are feelings besides irritation relevant? If so: anger? Stress? Probably thisFear? Nervousness? Sorrow? Depression? Guilt? Disbelief? Maybe a little bit of thisFrustration? And this too

Do you underestimate what fraction of the distance to your destination you have traveled? for instance, you see a point up ahead that you think is halfway there, but when you actually GET to that point, you look ahead and see that a new point appears to be halfway?

Does it work with any object? Any object above a certain size? Can you get fawry if you're not approaching the object? Can you get it on a moped? When the fawry stops, do you feel: relief? Happiness? Pleasure? Nothing? Can you get a new one on the same trip?

Does it work with any object? NoAny object above a certain size? Yes, insofar as you have to be able to see it from where you are.Can you get fawry if you're not approaching the object? NoCan you get it on a moped? YesWhen the fawry stops, do you feel: relief? This is most likelyHappiness? Pleasure? Nothing? Can you get a new one on the same trip? Yes

Hint: There's probably a psychological component involved with it. I usually get fawry when I'm in a hurry or have to walk although I don't want to.

When I have to take the garbage down to the dumpster and it's getting dark/is dark outside, I start getting this (irrational?) fear that there's someone concealed inside the enclosure, waiting for me to open the door so he can shoot me. O_O And since it's getting darker earlier...Yeah. I have to walk about halfway down the street in the mobile home park to do this, btw, and sometimes I think 'he' could be hiding in the bushes/next to other houses/wherever. Is a feeling like this at all relevant?

sorry if someone's already asked this - is it anything to do with shadows? No

Do you think most people experience fawry? Or some people? Or very few? Do you: stare at the object? Look at it a lot? Look at it occasionally? Avoid looking at it? Does it work with very large objects? Such as skyscrapers? Or antenna towers? If so, does it work better with those objects?

Kaylee, before we moved to our present house, where we have our own garbage can/rubbish bin, we lived in a mobile home park. One day, in broad daylight, my husband was taking a sack of garbage to the dumpster, and something was in the dumpster that tried to get him - a racoon! He managed to hit it right on the nose with the sack, and made it soooo mad, but the trash wasn't high enough that it could climb out, thankfully.

it would be worse if it was a kitteh...=( which could theoretically happen.

a cat could possibly get into the dumpster. Pet cats run around loose a bit in our area and at least two of my neighbors have cats. Now, if a cat slipped in past the gate into the closed off place where the dumpster is, and then climbed in when someone opened the lid, they could get trapped in there if the someone shut the lid on them...

Do you think most people experience fawry? I think soOr some people? Or very few? Do you: stare at the object? This is possibleLook at it a lot? This tooLook at it occasionally? Not reallyAvoid looking at it? NoDoes it work with very large objects? YesSuch as skyscrapers? YesOr antenna towers? YesIf so, does it work better with those objects? Hmm... It'd depend on how far away you are from the object. It would work better because you can see it from a greater distance.

I'm not sure whether this is just rephrasing biograd and potato's earlier questions...

Is fawry the sensation that you aren't getting any closer to the object that you're using as a point of reference? aren't getting there as quickly as you'd like, i.e. It just seems the same size as before, or only slightly bigger...

Fawry (a condensed form of "far away") is the sensation that an object that you're walking towards doesn't seem to come any closer although you are constantly moving. Sometimes I experience it to such an extent that I feel as if I was not only walking in one spot but even backwards...

Good job solving this one and having the patience to stick with this :-)
